Thanks for the reply. Think it?s been inevitable for a while that the demise is imminent ? just a question of timing ? and that it doesn?t particularly serve anyone?s purpose to draw things out (with maybe two exceptions: diehard fans and lawyers and accountants). In the interim, is the club being asset stripped by the ?owners? desperate to get what they can out of the situation? I only hope that some good comes out of this in the form of justice against those responsible (not that it will repair any of the damage done), but success rates in such cases are low and take years to come to Court. That, and the FA/PL review their requirements for ownership and financial accounting. Can understand why Pompey fans would have mixed feelings about seeing the season out ? on the one hand it would be a fruitless exercise, but would give the opportunity to go out like Butch and Sundance. (and your advise is to definitely not buy a ticket off my mate for the PL fixture three days after the QF)
